USD/JPY trades near 159 amid a narrowing but still wide interest rate differential, with the Fed funds rate at 3.50-3.75% versus the Bank of Japan’s 1.00% policy rate. Recent July inflation data and stronger Japanese business surveys have lifted September BoJ hike odds to roughly 80%, while softer U.S. labor and inflation prints have tempered near-term Fed tightening expectations. The U.S. Treasury’s expanded bond buybacks have eased long-end yields and contributed to recent dollar softness, though resilient U.S. activity keeps a floor under the greenback. Key near-term catalysts include the Jackson Hole symposium and the BoJ’s September 18 decision, with intervention risks capping upside moves toward 160. Market-implied paths point to gradual yen gains through year-end as policy divergence narrows.
